title: [Pneumopathy caused by minocycline].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Minocycline has been identified as a pathogenic agent in drug-induced pneumonia. We report a new case.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 38-year-old female asthmatic patient was given minocycline (100 mg/j) for facial acne. She was allergic to penicillin. Other treatments were theophylline, salbutamol and inhaled budesonide. Severe bilateral hypoxemia pneumonia developed with high eosinophil blood counts within a few days of treatment onset. The lung disease regressed with minocycline withdrawal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is exceptional because the minocycline-induced lung disease continued to progress despite high-dose corticosteroids in this asthmatic patient.
